The home you love or the one you're about to buy sometimes needs a little more space. Going for a house extension is the best solution. Additional room on one level, extension on several levels or raised roof ... The possible configurations are almost infinite. However, building an extension is a very constrained exercise, first by the terrain and then by urban planning rules. Here is what you should do for your London house extensions.
An extension, these are square meters more. But that’s not all. If you go for an architect, they will rework the volumes, rethink the circulation in the house, expand and facilitate access to the outside, the terrace or the garden. Thanks to the openings, the light will enter afloat, greatly improving comfort and quality of life.
Identify constraints, make them stronger!
Constructing an extension amounts to juggling a set of constraints, including: urban planning rules and respect for ownership boundaries, land orientation and its environment, the available footprint, the nature of the land or the difference in level. The lights are rarely all green!
The constraints force us to turn and return the project in all directions, until we find solutions that will integrate all criteria. These constraints can be seen as a creative challenge for example the rediscovery of a beautiful stone wall on an old house may prompt the architect to use either wood or zinc to bring forth the natural beauty of the elements.
